Notorious: A recreated 15th Century Portuguese Caravel
Notorious is a wooden sailing ship, a fullsize recreation of a 15th Century Caravel. She travels the Australian coast as a museum ship, open on occasion for onboard and belowdeck inspection. A visit to Notorious takes you back to maritime technology as it was over 500 years ago. Authentic recreations on this scale are almost invariably the work of whole teams of historians, maritime archaeologists, designers and craftsmen, but remarkably, Notorious was researched and designed by one man Graeme Wylie. Notorious took him nine years to build preceded by a couple of years research. An astounding feat.
